Microsoft Excel Solver Tool

How does it work exactly? I've been trying to get my head around but can't quite manage it.


I know this is brief, I will add some more info tomorrow!


Cheers

Have you read the Excel help pages? I've just had a look and they seem pretty good. I used to teach Excel and Solver was of the topics I covered and I don't remember it being that tricky. You're maybe expecting too much.

Excel help is how all help files should be.

Cheers for that. I've got a crap load of work to be doing, so thought I would post on here to sort of spur me on. Shall be giving it a go tomorrow.

What is this 'Solver' of which you speak. Is it where Excel assistant offers help while you are trying to figure something out; or a new feature in the latest version of Excel?

I think its the one where you get around having to remember algebra by clicking some buttons?
